  Legally required to. If you don’t protect your trademark, you lose it.

      And apple is called Apple.

      I didn’t say the law is good.

        The company trying to enforce the trademark is not called hoarder nor do they have any apps called hoarder.

    Is this even true or just a myth? From what I know, law doesn’t actually mandate people to be jerkasses. Also at least in sane countries, you can’t trademark words that are in the dictionary like “hoard” or “hoarder”, since by definition they have prior art.

        Good try, but I don’t read MBA hallucinations or AI slop.
